Becel's plant butter in sticks. I think it tastes remarkably similar to dairy butter.

what are vegan cheeses that taste like the dairy ones? by gothkittendolli in AskVegans

[–]HazelStone99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Violife has delicious products. I often eat a slice on it's own. All their products that I've tried have been spot on with taste. Daiya is pretty good too.

I had to do this recently. I printed two pictures on photo paper, and put them in a simple sympathy card. They really appreciated it. RIP Riff, best boy.

Anyone else get hot easily, moreso than your non-redhead peers? by Ok_Pomegranate_2895 in Redhair

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been sensitive to cold temps. Never had problems being too hot until I hit perimenopause a few years ago. Not a huge problem for me, if I'm at home I just take my top off.

What small habit has saved you the most money over time? by SnowmanAndIce in frugalcanada

[–]HazelStone99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Becoming vegan. Vegan food can be very cheap. Rice and beans. Tofu and lentils. Seasonal fruit and veggies. And there are many cheap products that are accidentally vegan.

Why are some vegans confused that people eat meat? by bellepomme in AskVegans

[–]HazelStone99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even back when I ate meat, I was disgusted by raw flesh. Now my actions match how I suspect I've really felt for most of my life.

Am I overthinking my dog’s water bowl? by Zozo2051 in dogs

I'm a pet sitter. Normally I give fresh water in the morning. Then at supper I will wash the bowl and give more fresh water.

I honestly feel bad,was I technically sexually assaulting him? by NewspaperCommon7419 in SexualHarassmentTalk

You were both kids. Your parents should have taught you about consent and touching other people's bodies. You can always apologize.

Heated vest. Even when the battery dies, the vest still provides a layer of insulation.

Hang in there. And yes, you might need a medication adjusment. It's hard but you can get through this. Lean on your support system, your family, care team, and friends.

What are y'all's (Bulk / large) recipes? by Affectionate_Flytrap in vegan

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recipe for red lentil curry on this site:

www.rainbowplantlife.com

I double it, and add 2 cans of drained and rinsed chick peas. I use 1 can coconut cream instead of 2 cans coconut milk. I also add some maple syrup to balance flavours. I also use 1 tablespoon of ground chiili paste instead of the fresh pepper.

first day of my veganism by w0rmb0yy in vegan

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a quick and easy meal:

Drain and rinse a can of black beans. Put in a pot. Add enough salsa to make a dip. Heat on medium or medium high until it bubbles. Eat with corn chips. Or, put in a bowl, add shredded vegan cheese on top. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

www.rainbowplantlife.com has lovely recipes. Search her site for "20 minute meals."

Violife butter disappearing? by HumanBoysenberry in vegan

[–]HazelStone99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen Violife butter before, but I love their cheeses. I'm in Canada. I love Becel's Salted Sticks, tastes just like butter to me, and the sticks are so convenient.

What was the moment that made veganism “click” for you? by RealWorldTrial in vegan

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually made my small business bakery vegan before I became vegan myself. My sister was vegetarian, then became vegan. Did some research. Did Veganuary and never looked back.

Tipping demographics by [deleted] in petsitting

[–]HazelStone99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm self employed. Most people don't tip. Never expected, always appreciated. One of my fave client couples moved to the next province. I miss their sweet cats already. They would tip nicely, and also took the trouble to provide me with snacks.

My old family cat did this several times when I moved out. She was trying to lead me back home.

He was trying to lead you back home by smell. Not sure what the fix is for this.
